jetprincess: Asset Acceptance is full of it. Send them a cease and desist letter for your phone number and document every call you get after that. If they keep calling seek legal counsel. You are never claiming to be the wrong person by listening to YOUR answering machine. I would even save the messages for future evidence of their conduct if the messages contain violations of the collection laws. This is the very type of abusive collection practices that usually cross the legal lines drawn by the fdcpa.
This may be the typical scenario where the collection agency can't find the right person so they find the person with the same last name who lives closest to the last known address of the real debtor. Then they harass you until you pay, tell them where to find the real debtor, or change your phone number. I've seen it many times before.
